Apparatus and method for language translation of toolkit menu

Abstract

A method for language translation of a toolkit menu is provided, which includes receiving, by a Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) toolkit module, the toolkit menu from a SIM card module, determining, by the SIM toolkit module, whether a language of the toolkit menu matches a user-defined language, and translating, by the SIM toolkit module, the language of the toolkit menu into the user-defined language, if the language of the toolkit menu is different from the user defined language.

1 . A method for language translation of a toolkit menu, comprising:
 receiving, by a Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) toolkit module, the toolkit menu from a SIM card module;   determining, by the SIM toolkit module, whether a language of the toolkit menu matches a user-defined language; and   if the language of the toolkit menu is different from the user defined language, translating, by the SIM toolkit module, the language of the toolkit menu into the user-defined language.   
   
   
       2 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising maintaining the language of the toolkit menu by the SIM toolkit module, if the language of the toolkit menu matches the user-defined language. 
   
   
       3 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the toolkit menu is provided using a proactive command format. 
   
   
       4 . A method for language translation of a toolkit menu, comprising:
 receiving, by a Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) toolkit module, the toolkit menu from a SIM card module;   determining, by the SIM toolkit module, whether a language of the toolkit menu matches a user-defined language;   requesting the SIM card module, by the SIM toolkit module, for translation of the language of the toolkit menu into the user-defined language, if the language of the toolkit menu is different from the user defined language;   translating, by the SIM card module, the language of the toolkit menu into the user-defined language; and   providing, by the SIM card module, the toolkit menu in the translated language to the SIM card module.   
   
   
       5 . The method of  claim 4 , further comprising maintaining the language of the toolkit menu by the SIM toolkit module, if the language of the toolkit menu matches the user-defined language. 
   
   
       6 . The method of  claim 4 , wherein the toolkit menu is provided using a proactive command format. 
   
   
       7 . The method of  claim 4 , wherein the translation into the user-defined language is requested using an envelope command format. 
   
   
       8 . An apparatus for language translation of a toolkit menu, comprising:
 a Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) card module for providing the toolkit menu, translating the language of the toolkit menu into the user-defined language, and providing the toolkit menu in the translated language;   a SIM toolkit module for receiving the toolkit menu, determining whether a language of the toolkit menu matches a user-defined language, requesting translation of the language of the toolkit menu into the user-defined language, if the language of the toolkit menu is different from the user defined language, and receiving the toolkit menu in the translated language from the SIM card module.   
   
   
       9 . The apparatus of  claim 8 , wherein the SIM toolkit module maintains the language of the toolkit menu, if the language of the toolkit menu matches the user-defined language. 
   
   
       10 . The apparatus of  claim 8 , wherein the toolkit menu is provided using a proactive command format. 
   
   
       11 . The apparatus of  claim 8 , wherein the translation into the user-defined language is requested using an envelope command format. 
   
   
       12 . An apparatus for language translation of a toolkit menu, comprising:
 a Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) card module for providing the toolkit menu; and   a SIM toolkit module for receiving the toolkit menu, determining whether a language of the toolkit menu matches a user-defined language, and translating the language of the toolkit menu into the user-defined language if the language of the toolkit menu is different from the user defined language.   
   
   
       13 . The apparatus of  claim 12 , wherein the SIM toolkit module maintains the language of the toolkit menu, if the language of the toolkit menu matches the user-defined language. 
   
   
       14 . The apparatus of  claim 12 , wherein the toolkit menu is provided using a proactive command format. 
   
   
       15 . A Computer-readable recording medium having recorded thereon a program for language translation of a toolkit menu, comprising;
 a first code segment for receiving the toolkit menu;   a second code segment for determining whether a language of the toolkit menu matches a user-defined language;   a third code segment for translating the language of the toolkit menu into the user-defined language, if the language of the toolkit menu is different from the user defined language; and   a fourth code segment for maintaining the language of the toolkit menu, if the language of the toolkit menu matches the user-defined language.
